Once you have selected your group members, your case study, you then need to research the information and put it in a format that teaches me and other students what you have learned. You may use PowerPoint, Google Docs, Key Note, Slideshare, or some similar resource to do your presentation. Your presentation must be posted by the deadline.
The Assignment
In groups of 2-3 people, you will examine one case study of a prominent protest. In a brief demonstration to the class: 1) Summarize the protest (give a basic timeline of what happened before, during and after the event) 2) Identify the perceived injustice 3) Discuss the action(s) taken in protest. 4) Evaluate the success or failure of those actions. 5) Compare and contrast Thoreau's concept of civil disobedience with the example in the case study. 6) Explain why or why not the protest is an example of civil disobedience
Some historical examples of civil disobedience:
1) Socrates - freedom of thought and speech. 2) The Flint Sit-In 3) Lady Godiva - tax protest. 4) Martin Luther - freedom of religion. 5) American Revolution - tax protests, Boston Tea Party 6) Abolitionists; Underground Railroad - racial rights. 7) Martin Luther King - racial rights. 8) Operation Rescue - abortion. 9) Self-Immolation of Thích Quảng Ðức 10) Purple Rain Protest 11) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Bible—laws of Nebuchadnezzar) 12) Comforters of Jews in Hitler’s Germany (see Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Niemoller, German resistance) 13) Tiananmen Square 14) Kent State Protesters 15) Mahatma Gandhi (Satyagraha) (The Salt March) 16) Abalone Alliance 17) Gavin Newsom (mayor of San Francisco—2004 weddings) 18) Samizdat 19) Earth Liberation Front (destroying Hummers and other non-human eco-violators) 20) “Draft Dodgers” (see Muhammud Ali) 21) Julia Hill Butterfly 22) Tehran in 2009 23) The Lady in White (1913) 24) Soweto Youth Uprising 25) Occupy Wall Street
